Alcatel-Lucent IMS Security: Providing a Trusted Foundation

Security remains a top priority for service providers as threats continue to evolve, with service providers battling to defend against the increasing volume and sophistication of spam, spyware and malicious code, as well as a new breed of hackers and organized crime now motivated by potential profits from stealing confidential personal information, corporate data, services, and disrupting services. A growing number of malicious programs are exploiting security weaknesses in Internet browsers, web pages and applications. Additionally, as more companies become dependent on the business benefits of mobile devices, web applications and new services like VoIP, the use of security technologies and a secure infrastructure with up-to-date security policies becomes more important to protect against new risks.
